Overview

Secondary Prevention

Effective measures for the secondary prevention of Goodpasture syndrome include:

  • Patient education: Patient education is an important aspect in early diagnosis and management of Goodpasture syndrome.
    • Patients should be educated about the signs and symptoms of renal dysfunction as certain steroid and immunosuppressive therapy may have adverse effects on the kidneys.
    • Patients should be monitored regularly for renal function.
    • Patients with severe renal dysfunction require long term dialysis and should be advised to seek medical care on a timely basis.
    • Patients with deteriorating renal function despite should be put on renal transplantation list and patients should be informed that Goodpasture syndrome may even recur in the transplanted kidney, although it is very rare.
